1st Milky Way Wish - Let's play some JOYBAAAAALLL! [TEXT]

[heyheyhey]

Hey hey hey, who wants to play Joyball? It sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun! But we need a lot of players to make up two teams, and if you ask me, I want players who want to win!

So, who wants to be in my team?

I just said I didn't want to play!

What's Tookey slang for?

[heyheyhey]

Then why did you reply? I'm looking for teammates to play with me, not a bunch of scaredy cats.

And a Tookey is a chicken. That's what you are, a chicken.

I wanted to make sure you weren't making a bad decision.

Is that all? I thought it would be something much more inappropriate.

And I'm not a coward!

[heyheyhey]

I'm a big kid, I can make my own decisions.

Then prove it and play Joyball with me or I will call you a chicken and a scaredy cat forever!

[balzams]

Not wanting to play a potentially violent and overly complex game frankly seems more like a sensible idea than a cowardly one.

[heyheyhey]

Whatever you say, chicken.

[There was a short pause before Marx decided to type something else]

What are yo going to do instead?

[balzams]

I'm going to try the arcade games. It's the only mission where you don't risk hurting people.

( text )

[heyheyhey]

You know you have to hurt someone sooner or later. It can't be avoided.

( text )

[balzams]

Who says it can't? If they keep giving missions where you don't have to hurt people I should be fine.

( text )

[heyheyhey]

And if they don't?

( text )

[balzams]

I'll think of something else. I can sell things or offer services.

[heyheyhey]

[Ah, an easy target has been detected! Unfortunately he doesn't know what this person's name is or what they look like. He would have to remedy that somehow. But for now, he's going to continue with the conversation]

Why did you sign up for the game if you're not going to follow the rules? No one likes a cheater, you know.

( text )

[balzams]

I didn't know the exact details when I first signed up.

It's not cheating, is it? They just said you have to gain points, they didn't say it had to be by hurting others. The missions prove that.

( text )

[heyheyhey]

Someone's going to hurt you whether the missions require it or not, so what are you going to do then? Are you going to stand there and do nothing like the chicken that you are?

( text )

[balzams]

Of course I'm going to defend myself! I just don't want to be the one that starts a fight.

( text )

[heyheyhey]

Running away doesn't count as defending yourself. But I'm willing to protect you if you need a bodyguard, chicken.

( text )

[balzams]

Who said anything about running away?

I wouldn't trust someone I've never met with my safety.

( text )

[heyheyhey]

I did. You seem like the type that would.

And we can change that if you want. I don't have anything else better to do since no one seems interested in playing Joyball with me.

( text )

[balzams]

I already said no. And it's none of your business if I would or wouldn't. Sometimes a tactical retreat is the best option.

( text )

[heyheyhey]

Well if you change your mind, let me know.

The name's Marx, by the way. What's yours, other than chicken?

( text )

[balzams]

My name is Maksis, so stop calling me chicken.

( text )

[heyheyhey]

Can't do that, chicken. It will be your new name until you play Joyball with me, whether you like it or not.

( text )

[balzams]

I'm not going to play so stop asking me.

Re: ( text )

[heyheyhey]

Chicken chicken chicken! Chicken chicken chicken!

( text )

[balzams]

I'm going to stop replying now.

[heyheyhey]

Bye bye, chicken!
